I'm the proud owner of every type of 1:18 Bburago Ferrari including all 14 types of F40 - some of which appear to becoming nicely valuable

Here's a shot of a few...

Big collection of 1:43s and 1:18s at the office. And all the Thunderbirds/Captain Scarlet/Joe 90/UFO/Batman Dinky models from the 60s/70s.



Pride of the collection: my 1:8 Lola T70 Mk3B.



Also have a collection of 1:18 GMP Lola T70s. Waiting for the 1:1 real deal...



Various 1:18s lurking amongst the books and magazines in the home office and lounge.

I was very close to buying the Lola model a while back...... another time

amazing collection where did you get those display shelves from? Im having a bit of a storage problem at the moment with my cars.

[Eric Mc]

Benetton B194 surely.

Nice to see proper "fag" logos on the Jags.

Are they "Picture Pride" display cases?

I have my collection in just one Picture Pride case - all 1/43 scales apart from one 1/20 and a few "non-scale" land speed record cars. ill post up some pictures some day.

Oops, you're absolutely correct, Eric. Schuey's car is, of course, a B194. And they are 'Picture Pride Displays' cabinets. Good quality cabinets and their service is top notch too.

I'm glad I'm not your cleaner!!

Actually, I am our cleaner! Which is one reason why we chose the Picture Pride cabinets. They're not cheap (about £70 each) but they are sealed in such a way that makes them dustproof...which is handy!

Like your TVRs BTW, are they Spark models or hand-builts?

[blondemoment]

We got them from SMTS

Very good service - especially when a windscreen fell out - no quibbles, mended and returned free of charge
